Mexican Crabb
Hi again,
Next up is Callum, my 10 year old brainiac!!
He's extremely creative and a deep thinker. He absorbs information like a sponge! We have to shut him up sometimes as he seems to enjoy winding his younger siblings up with gross facts from a variety of shows, his favourite one being Air Crash Investigation!
He's fairly studious, science being his favourite, and along with playing the violin, enjoys church and building fantastic Lego structures!
Like I have said before, he had 'the talk' at school a couple of weeks ago and months prior to this he was given a science book to read through in preparation for his SAT's. This book never left his side and at one point I thought it might have to be surgically removed!!!! Obviously, he was studying it from cover to cover but apparently some words hadn't quite sunk in correctly, for example;
One evening I had decided to make Mexican for dinner and as I was in the middle of cooking Colby had come home in a particularly vibrant and annoying mood. Shouting as loud as she could she proceeded to ask me what we were having for tea. 'Fajita's and nachos' I replied, to which she then starting shouting 'Ooh la la, faj-eeeeeee-ta's, faj-eeeeee-ta's, faj-eeeee-ta's'
Just as I was about to tell her to stop being so crude and puerile I noticed Callum had stopped practising his violin and was stood looking out of the window with a faraway look in his eyes. Before both Colby and I could ask what was wrong, he mumbled 'Fajeeeta. I have that word in my science book!' and with that bolted upstairs to check!!
Well, Colby and I collapsed in a heap with laughter all the while Colby saying she always thought he was a freak!!!
Bless him!! He never mentioned it to me and I never said a word about it to him. It goes without saying we won't be having mexican again for a good few years to come!! I often wondered at what point during 'the talk' he realised his error and perhaps could giggle about it himself!
Anyway, he is off to secondary school in September and he just doesn't seem ready. To me, he's still so innocent and young and I know once he goes, he will be descending down the slippery slope into adolescence and he will also undergo a complete personality transplant like all the other teenagers! Hopefully, it will be shortlived like Kelvin's and he will come out the other side unscathed!
His mission at the moment is to get Pete to agree to being confirmed in April, but he's got to get him christened first so we'll see how he gets on persuading him!
Please join me again with the last two Crabb's tomorrow,
See you again,
Melanie
